A reconstructed building from the Elmira POW camp takes shape (center).
ELMIRA – Come June Elmira will finally acknowledge it’s dark history. Hellmira, in part, will be reborn.
For decades rumors have swirled that lumber from one of the Elmira prisoner of war camp buildings was in storage and someday would be reconstructed. It appears that the day has come. In fact, on June 24th a special dedication ceremony is planned and the building now at least 153 years old will be unveiled.
